2MASX J00423991+3017515: An offset active galactic nucleus in an interacting system
J. Drew Hogg, Laura Blecha, Christopher S. Reynolds +2
We present a spectroscopic and imaging study of an abnormal active galactic nucleus (AGN), 2MASX J00423991+3017515. This AGN is newly identified in the hard X-rays by the Swift BAT…
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey II: X-ray Emission and High Ionization Optical Emission Lines
Simon Berney, Michael Koss, Benny Trakhtenbrot +17
We investigate the relationship between X-ray and optical line emission in 340 nearby AGN selected above 10 keV using Swift BAT. We find a weak correlation between the extinction c…
Intermediate mass black holes in AGN disks II. Model predictions & observational constraints
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, B. Kocsis +2
If intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) grow efficiently in gas disks around supermassive black holes, their host active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks should exhibit myriad observa…
The power output of local obscured and unobscured AGN: crossing the absorption barrier with Swift/BAT and IRAS
R. V. Vasudevan, A. C. Fabian, P. Gandhi +2
The Swift/BAT 9-month catalogue of active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides an unbiased census of local supermassive black hole accretion, and probes to all but the highest levels of…
Radiation pressure and absorption in AGN: results from a complete unbiased sample from Swift
A. C. Fabian, R. V. Vasudevan, R. F. Mushotzky +1
Outward radiation pressure can exceed the inward gravitational pull on gas clouds in the neighbourhood of a luminous Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). This creates a forbidden region…
